I've actually just done a ticket about this..
Personally, I think the approach mentioned in the ticket is a far saner way of doing things.

I have a project where I'm using Bootstrap (www.github.com/twitter/bootstrap) with Django.
I need to add a CSS class ("active") to highlight the active navigation link.
Anyhow, I did some Googling:

The approach in the above seems to be to either use custom template tag, middleware or JS-hackery.
Is there a current consensus in the Django community in terms of what is the "correct" approach for this?
Is there a reason something like this isn't part of Django core, or an in-built templatetag?
Cheers,
Victor
i did this by adding {% block activepage %}{% endblock %} in my base template and in a page which extended from the basic template i added {% block activepage %} class="active" {% endblock %} where active class does the highlight in CSS.
I think JS/jQuery is neat but if you are not comfortable with it i think templates do the trick.. :)
